Cosmic rays shed new light on 7,000-year-old ancient Greek settlement

SciTechDaily

Researchers from the University of Bern have successfully dated a prehistoric agricultural settlement in northern Greece to between 5328 and 5140 BC, using dendrochronology and a significant radiocarbon spike in 5259 BC, from a cosmic event known as a Miyake event. This breakthrough provides an accurate chronological reference for other archaeological sites in southeastern Europe … Read more
